Imam Training Course

To boost the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Responsibilities & abilities of Imams:

Imams will need to have in-depth knowledge of the Qur'an as well as the Sharia, the Islamic law set down in the Qur'an and further writings. This helps the imam who works in a pastoral capacity to counsel the people of the area. In-depth knowledge of Muslim history and culture is also expected of these professionals. Imams should also have thorough knowledge of worship methodology. In addition, since imams are leaders and may have people working for them, even if it is on a volunteer basis, imams need to have knowledge of leadership, management, and administrative practices.

Being an imam is a people-intensive job, which means having excellent communication skills is a must. Imams must be able to listen to their people, understand their needs, and respond to them in a meaningful way. Additionally, imams need to have strong organizational and time management skills. Imams should enjoy working with people.

To increase the quality we conduct intense courses for imams and religious leaders. Those who have completed their course received a certificate. Alhamdulillah this initiative significantly increases the knowledge of the deen in various parts of the region. The Imam Training Course, offered by the All India Imam Organization, is a program designed with the intention to help individuals "grow to give back".
